Re: Arrest Warant for Derrick Odem III Wow... :dis: I surely hope that's not the case. I mean, surely he's smarter than that. :shock:
Re: Arrest Warant for Derrick Odem III Reading the story, it doesn't sound all that bad. Sure, it's not a great thing to have happen, and he should be disciplined. But it sounds like some dude did something that Odem didn't like, and then ran like a girl (which was probably smart), so Odem did what any irrational and maybe thick-headed person would do and bashed up the coward's stuff. Let's not make this into a Lawrence Phillips story based on preliminary information.
Re: Arrest Warant for Derrick Odem III I wouldn't get too twisted around by the "other players" reference...I mean, you could knock off the corner convenience store while 5 of us happened to be waiting for you in the parking lot, thinking you were buying a pack of red apples or something, and the write-up could read, "A TF.com regular robbed a convenience store today. Sources say 'other TF.com' posters' were involved..."
Re: Arrest Warant for Derrick Odem III Taking this a step further---if all the owner wanted was compensation or being made whole as a result of Odom's actions, and if word of this has made its way back to the ADept...surely, **someone**woulda offered to make amend$$ to the owner w/o him having to go to the cops.
Re: Arrest Warant for Derrick Odem III Isn't it fun trying to control our athlete's in this day and time. When the NCAA did away with athletic dorms several years ago, they did the coaching staffs no favors. in addition, there are many pressures/temptations today that did not exist back then. Nowadays, a head coach's worst nightmare is a phone call late at night or in the wee hours. I am sure it just made Coach Croom's day to hear about his second team quarterback recently, with perhaps the best opponent of the season coming up on August 30. Now he has a true freshman quarterback that I am sure he had rather redshirt who may have to play at some point this season, perhaps even next Thursday. Go Dawgs!
Re: Arrest Warant for Derrick Odem III Man..crap. Odom has been one of my favorite young kids over the past year. And I have a gut feeling that RP was involved, as he had to get Xavier to pick up his vehicle. As much trouble as RP has gotten into over the past few months, I have always stuck by him and continued to pull for him. Then, I hear Ace Foyle is a player in this. Isnt he a relative of Chad Jones??? ARHHHH!!! I keep telling myself...WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM...then I hear 14+ players were called to the scene by DO and AF before blue showed up. Dont you think those two couldve handled things on there own?!?! Theyre freakin LSU LBs!!!
Re: Arrest Warant for Derrick Odem III Per ESPN, Odom has been suspended indefinitely. According to Miles, he is suspended until the inventigation is final. So disappointing. :nope:
Re: Arrest Warant for Derrick Odem III Odom probably didn't tell him everything but if this could have happened a few weeks ago like several people have stated then maybe it should have been handle then instead of the week before opening kick off. So there you go I got a but and if in there so until everything is out about this I wish everyone well and hope to get this behind us and onto a great season.
Re: Arrest Warant for Derrick Odem III Leslie needs to cut this sh*t off right quick...I don't care where the investigation leads, if others were involved---and why do 14 or so LSU players need to back up Odom anyway?---I say smoke 'em right quick.
Re: Arrest Warant for Derrick Odem III Is it right that I'm a bit depressed that fourteen players thought it was a good idea to go back to the apartment with Odom? Did none of them stop long enough to think that maybe they should, you know, do the opposite? Like, try to talk Odom down, tell him it wouldn't be worth it to go back, that they had to take the high road given the fact that they're highly visible athletes??? I'm flabergasted. Seriously, where's the leadership from the teammates? I hope some of the story is wrong. I was highly critical of Thug U, not just the tolerance, but the entire attitude. I don't want to see that **** here. I know CLM isn't one to cuss (much), but I certainly hope those guys got their azzes chewed off by him.
